Welcome to the Authorware Working Model version 3.5!
The Authorware Working Model is a demonstration version of Authorware. The Working Model contains most of the features you’ll get when you buy your software and allows you to create only small, sample applications.
This CD includes:
• Authorware Working Model installer program. You can install the Authorware Working Model by simply double clicking SETUP.EXE (Windows) or the Authorware Working Model Setup icon (Macintosh) in your program manager or finder.
• Welcome demo — done in Authorware of course — to introduce you to the product
• Quick Tour tutorial — build a small sample application in Authorware.
• Novato Kiosk — contains a complete Authorware piece you can explore. The Quick Tour is actually a small piece of the Novato Kiosk.
• Misc folder — read on for more details...
After installing the Working Model, we recommend you run the Welcome demo. It will introduce you to key Authorware concepts. A program icon or alias of the Welcome demo is installed when you install the Working Model. You can also open the Welcome folder on the CD and launch WELCOME.A3W (Windows) or WELCOME.A3M (Macintosh).
Please take a look at the Misc folder on the CD. For the Macintosh, it contains QuickTime 2.1 as well as the Apple Multimedia Tuner 2.0.1. For Windows, we've enclosed Video for Windows 1.1e. These should be installed if they aren't already on your system. Consult the ReadMe files inside each folder for more information on installation.
Also in the Misc folder is an Authorware model entitled "Default Framework Icon" (Macintosh) and "framewrk.mod" (Windows). The framework allows for custom navigation structures in Authorware (you'll learn about frameworks in the Welcome demo and the Quick Tour tutorial). For the purposes of the Quick Tour, we have already included a custom framework model in your Authorware application.
After taking the Quick Tour, you may want to replace this model with the one in the Misc folder to see more built-in functionality of Authorware 3.5. Do this by inserting the CD, opening the Misc folder and copying the "Default Framework Icon" (Macintosh) or "framewrk.mod" (Windows) into the Authorware program folder installed on your hard drive. This will replace the custom framework used in the Quick Tour with a standard Authorware framework.
Certain functionality present in the commercial version of Authorware 3.5 is not available in the Authorware Working Model, including:
--JumpOut system function
--JumpFile system function
--Packaging
--Authorware 2.0 to 3.0 conversion
--User functions

We hope you have an excellent experience with Authorware 3.5. Happy authoring.
